Another Perfect Session

Dogwalk training is fun when your dog is perfect! I think it's so interesting how it just clicked for him. I didn't notice him 'figuring it out'...it was just like one day he came out and understood. Maybe a vision came to him in a dream. However it happened, I'm thrilled. He's always well within the contact, too. There shouldn't be any close calls or missed calls by judges because we won't be making them think much--he's just solidly in the yellow. What a good boy!

Today we did another 8/8 and called it quits. I'll try to do another session this afternoon, but we're having people over and I have to finish a paper today, so we'll see how the timing goes. This weekend I'm going to see what I can do about getting new supports or adjusting the ones we have so we can actually get to 48".

Jonah

Jonah is a 5 year old All-American who joined our family when he was about 18 months (June 2010). He was terrified of staplers, doorways, sticks, and men. We've learned agility together--first as a way to gain confidence, and now as a passion. He's steady and reliable, but struggles with reactivity and trial anxiety.

Nika

Nika, an English Shepherd, is the newest member of our family. She was born on April 14, 2012 and came to live with us at eight weeks. She is very bright, loves life to the fullest, and always keeps us on our toes! In agility, she has a lot of potential and we're learning to work as a team.
